SanDisk X300 overview

1Description

The 512GB X300 SATA-Based M.2 Internal SSD from SanDisk features 1Ynm X3 flash technology that quickly delivers 512GB of storage capacity for your compact systems such as NUCs and ultrabooks. This case-less SSD is compatible with systems that can support an 80mm drive and connects via M.2. Once installed, it can produce 525 MB/s sequential read speeds and 470 MB/s sequential write speeds. Furthermore, nCache 2.0 caching technology is on board to improve endurance, increase efficiency, and boost performance of the SSD.

nCache 2.0 Technology

nCache 2.0 uses a combination of SLC and X3/TLC flash blocks to improve endurance, increase efficiency, and boost performance. By first writing all of the data to SLC blocks, the write amplification on the X3 blocks is minimized.

DataGuard Client

The X300 Series SSD includes a robust on-the-fly error handling mechanism called DataGuard Client. It uses page-level striping with distributed parity for an added layer of data protection.

Low Power

The X300 utilizes a SATA DEVSLP low-power mode to minimize its power consumption during idle periods. DEVSLP enables the SSD to completely shut off its SATA PHY, thus resulting in much lower power consumption compared to SATA Slumber. This increases the amount of usable hours per battery charge, which is essential for modern mobile devices.

TCO

SanDisk SSDs can improve total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing downtime due to hard drive failures. They also offer lower latency and greater read/write speeds over traditional HDDs. IT departments can extend the useful life of their PC inventory by upgrading the HDDs to the X300 SSD, thus prolonging replacement cycles and maximizing asset value.
